                  Well look at Tottenham conquering that group of death.  Very cool.

                    Very happy with that game, hopefully they don’t get too complacent mind.

                      Italy didn't qualify for the world cup….this makes me all warm and tingly inside.  😉

                        And neither did the US for that matter, which I'm not happy about but not nearly as big of an upset as the Azzurri not making it.

                          I'm sad that neither of those teams made it through. I love the energy that the US fans bring, and I like to see a strong Italian side at major tournaments as they always do well against Ze Germans  😎

                          England have less than zero chance at the tournament, I don't think there are 4 international teams in the world we're capable of beating  ::)

                            Indeed! Italy is one of the heavy hitters at any major tournament and it's sad not to see them next year. It's also a shame to see the legend Buffon to step down this way.

                              One reason I'm grinning inside at Italy not making it is one of my lifelong friends is a first generation Italian and a huge Italia fan.  His mouth is as loud as you can imagine so it's nice to see him eat some humble pie.

                              Another reason is that Italy always kind of annoyed me in that they actually never really played well in recent memory, they really didn't…..but they would always scrape through and make it deep into every tournament. They were that team that would never win their group but advance, go up one goal on a team and defend the rest of the game, win their games by 1...maybe 2 goals.  Such a safe and boring tactic to watch.  Top that off with my obnoxious Italian buddy yelling in my face with every win.

                                Now….on to a team that I thoroughly love right now.....Ze Germans!!!  I am so impressed with what they have done with their whole system rebuilding it from the ground up.  The Germans are insanely talented but the real scary part is how deep their squad is AND how young most of them still are. It is quite ridiculous.  It's not an exaggeration to say that a German B or C squad could beat almost any other countries A squad on any given day.  The biggest problem Low will have is deciding who to play in each game because of the wealth of talent he has to choose from. It's a great problem for a manager to have but still can be a problem none the less.

                                I am calling it right now, I'm picking Germany to win it again.  Two in a row.

                                  I've had a soft spot for Italy since Italia 90. Roberto Baggio carried the team with a superhuman effort right to the final, assisted by some inspired defending from Baresi.

                                  Ze Germans are strong in every tournament, but oddly for an Englishman I am hoping that the Argentina manager realises that he needs to build his team around Messi and the little genius finally gets his international trophy.

                                    Ze Germans are always contenders in every tournament but the way they have been playing since the last world cup is on a different level and style than previous years.  They have so much speed in attack now combined with their defensive capabilities and ice in the veins composure.  Look at their goal differential in their qualifying group for this world cup.  Sure they were not in a group of death by any means but they are destroying teams.  Their game against Brazil in the last world cup is a great example.

                                    I am with you on Messi getting a trophy finally.  That guy deserves it and I would love to see him get one.

                                          Btw, is there a new Premier League ruling that any 50/50 challenge must be given in favour of the Man City Player?
